NEBRASKA BY HEART is a Public Art Project sponsored by Lead Up and the Sadie Dog Fund, and is endorsed by the NE 150 Celebration. It is a not-to-be-missed component of the Nebraska Sesquicentennial and a destination for millions of appreciative (Nebraska, national and international) visitors! The Sponsoring organizations reflect grass-roots Nebraska values and hope to raise funds and awareness about their goals. Lead Up provides pathways for communities to invest in their own prosperity by building dynamic networks that connect youth to college and career. Through these powerful networks, students receive academic support, college preparation, and leadership development thus bridging the critical gap between academic learning and success in college and career. Through education, prevention and veterinary grants, it works statewide with Nebraska veterinarians to provide the necessary funds to keep dogs, in emergency medical situations or with special needs, alive and in their homes with the families that love them. This offers an alternative to neglect, euthanasia or surrender.
